Red Phone: Christmas in the park?
“I was just walking through Miller Park. It is a little gem. It has mature Christmas-like trees like cypress and redwood. So do many of our bigger parks like Christmas Hill. I notice we keep putting that artificial tree that is getting pretty raggedy up downtown. Wouldn’t it be nice if we use one of our living beautiful trees in our neighborhood parks? I know downtown needs all the help it can get. But what an opportunity we have with some of these little gems of a park.”
Adopt Licorice
Licorice is a black beauty with faint tabby markings and a subtle orange/brown topcoat. She loves to play with everyone, and her favorite toys are little balls of fluff, dangly things, and toy mice. In her mind, a kitty can never have enough mice. She also like to cuddle, but only after play time.
